I want to understand ECG completely. So give me all basic and advance ecg knowledge with full detail it mbbs level, also explain with ecg paper with diagram then goes for abnormally and change in ecg patten with that abnormalities, then goes as for all condition from simpler to complex one with diagram. Use otentic source and explain such a why that i become the expert of ecg interpretation.
